    Diachronic word embeddings from 19th-century newspapers digitised by the British Library (1800-1919)

    Word vectors related to the paper "Machines in the media: semantic change in the lexicon of mechanization in 19th-century British newspapers" by Nilo Pedrazzini and Barbara McGillivray (2022). The embeddings were trained on a 4.2-billion-word corpus of 19th-century British newspapers using Word2Vec and specific parameters. The embeddings are divided into periods of ten years each, with the vectors from each decade aligned to the ones from the most recent decade (1910s) using Orthogonal Procrustes.

    We present a new dataset for the task of toponym resolution in digitised historical newspapers in English. It consists of 343 annotated articles from newspapers based in four different locations in England (Manchester, Ashton-under-Lyne, Poole and Dorchester), published between 1780 and 1870. The articles have been manually annotated with mentions of places, which are linked---whenever possible---to their corresponding entry on Wikipedia. The dataset is published on the British Library shared research repository, and is especially of interest to researchers working on improving semantic access to historical newspaper content. We share the 343 annotated files (one file per article) in the WebAnno TSV file format version 3.2, a CoNLL-based file format. We additionally provide a TSV file with metadata at the article level, and the annotation guidelines.
